RLS Staff Newsletter

Our Mission is to ensure that all students learn at grade level or higher!

Hello RLS- I hope you had a great weekend! We have yet another action packed week this week! 
Thank you Lisa, for conducting the CHKS Survey! Makeups this week.

With so many field trips occurring, I'd like to remind all of us how crucial it is that we have accurate and timely communication to prioritize safety and resources. 
Thank you to those of you who have taken on the additional responsibility providing these learning experiences for our students and for following through with all requirements. 

I spoke about the dress code at our staff meeting. I understand this topic has multiple layers and is not easy to address. 
For these reasons, when you identify a potential dress code violation, at your leisure, email all office staff and one of us will find an appropriate time to address the issue privately and as needed. Thank you! We do this to prioritize your relationship with the student, minimize the interruptions to your instruction, and take into account the totality of the circumstances. 

Grades are due Monday, 3/9 by 10:30AM. Thank you for getting them in on time!
SPED progress reports are due at 10:30 as well.
